Desperate terrorists like those. The Chechens have already beheaded hundreds of young Russian soldiers (most who were conscripted at the age of 18) for not converting to their religion (...Islam).

And all this happens because the Russian government refuses to recognize Chechnya as an independent state (and really, it's so frickin small you probably couldn't even point out it on the damned globe, so who the hell cares).

It's sick. The Caucus (part of the world that exists between Russia and Turkey) is one of the most dangerous parts of the world. There's at least 2 wars going on, and 1 ceasefire (I think).
